Well, the title sort of says it all……

HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW

My project at the moment is to cover a rather ugly tall wall with climbers. I have a passion flower

which I grew from seed bought when I last visited my best friend in Florida.

I have bouganvillia

And the ‘fleur rose’ (see last week’s entry) now identified as Podranea or Pink Trumpet Vine.

I also have a jasmine in there somewhere.

But there are a lot of bald pieces of wall, so I have been out there tottering on a ladder pulling, twirling, knotting string and generally knitting bits of plant around each other to try and persuade them into the gaps.

Hopefully by next month, the string won’t show and I’ll be able to post a picture of a pretty wall!

This post is part of #Howdoesyourgardengrow. Head over and look at other entries.

Yes it certainly is, I no longer cut the tall bougainvillea hedge myself (had one too many wobbles standing on tiptoes on the top of the ladder) but when I did, I’d be scratched to pieces which only just healed up before it was time to do it again. It looks fabulous though…may do pic of thst next week. Mainly mauve with bits of red, gold and orange ones intertwined….hope your passion flower perks up.

Lovely to see the progress on your garden. It would be interesting to see the photos you sent us, so long ago when you first started, and along the way as you’ve been changing it. You’ve done lots to it!
